I just bought it too! I am liking it. I hate prewashing but have to for the Embroidery machine. This stuff brings the fabric back to that slick prewashed flatness. I am really liking it, no residue, no white haze. just flat, slick fabric.

I love Best Press....I use it alot when sewing, and even though it doesn't act as a starch, it does give a nice, soft crispness to the fabric...It works great on dark clothing, like black slacks...absolutely no residue whatsoever, which is the main reason I purchased it....

Best Press is a starch alternative. It doesn't get stiff, it is supposed to give it "body". It does a great job of removing wrinkles and especially the crease where the fabric is folded on the bolt. And if you need a crease it is great for putting it in.

I love it. I always use it when I iron my seams open on my quilting pieces. It does add just a bit of firmness to the fabric. I always use it now.

I love this stuff! I just bought some and am so glad I have it. My other starch that I got from W/M doesn't even compare to this.. LOVE IT!

I use Best Press and love it because it isn't as stiff as starch. The scent is very light and doesn't trigger my allergies. It doesn't turn color or scorch. If needed can be put on thickly.

I love Best Press too. I buy it in the gallon jugs. Much better than starch imo.
